    About this ebook

    Dylan has been looking forward to the Midwinter Meltdown Tournament for months. He knows this will be the year his hockey team wins. Then a pre-season injury takes him out of the game. Even though his wrist is healing, he's too weak to play. Can Dylan be part of the team if he's stuck on the bench?

    Jake Maddox

    Who is Jake Maddox? Athlete, author, world-traveler – or all three? He has surfed in Hawaii, scuba-dived in Australia, and climbed the mountains of Peru and Alaska. His books range from the most popular team sports to outdoor activities to survival adventures and even to auto racing. His exploits have inspired numerous writers to walk in his footsteps – literally! Each of his stories is stamped with teamwork, fair play, and a strong sense of self-worth and discipline. Always a team-player, Maddox realizes it takes more than one man (or woman) to create a book good enough for a young reader. He hopes the lessons learned on the court, field, or arena and the champion sprinter pace of his books can motivate kids to become better athletes and lifelong readers.

      Hockey Meltdown - Jake Maddox

      CHAPTER 1

      THERE GOES THE SEASON

      Dylan Marshall stood on top of the skate ramp at Iron Valley Skate Park. He balanced on his skates and looked down at the pavement six feet below him.

      His best friends, Nick Shaw and Tommy Reyes, stood on the sidelines, cheering.

      Come on, Dylan! Nick yelled. You can do it, man!

      Dylan wiped the sweat from his forehead.

      Then, taking a deep breath, he used his back skate to push off. He shot down the ramp, picking up major speed. He reached the bottom of the ramp and flew across the pavement.

      The wheels on his skates rotated rapidly as Dylan hit the next ramp. He kept his knees bent. As he reached the top of the ramp, he straightened his legs and jumped.

      Dylan was flying. He kicked both feet to the right and reached down to grab his skates. His body whipped around in a complete circle. Then he released the grip on his skates and landed smoothly on the pavement. He skidded to a perfect stop.

      That was awesome! Tommy yelled, skating over to Dylan.

      Thanks, said Dylan.

      The boys skated over to a picnic table at the edge of the skate park and sat down.

      Can you believe school starts next week? asked Dylan. He took a long sip from his water bottle.

      Ugh! Did you have to bring that up? asked Tommy. He groaned.

      But if school starts soon, hockey season is just a few weeks away, Nick pointed out.

      I guess that makes me feel a little better, Tommy muttered.

      We’re going to dominate this season, said Nick.

      Do you think we can win the Midwinter Meltdown Tournament? asked Tommy.

      I know we can, Dylan said. Nick can skate a lot faster than he could last year.

      "And Tommy, you’ve been working on
